Being, as the saying has it, a little under the weather over the weekend suggested to me, in the torpor that comes with that state, the idea of looking at that other weather, the real stuff. And what a fun time it was to dip into the meteorological sites just as a check on how much closer our part of this great planet is to the edge of global warming doom.

John Kerry Emitted 302 Tons of CO2 to Save the Planet
In his last year in office, Secretary of State John Kerry was touting the fact that he had traveled over 1.06 million miles and spent some 96 days in the air in the course of 3 years. The archived State Department site tallies Kerry’s total record at 1,417,576 miles and 126 days in the air.
Kerry spent more time flying in 3 years than the average American would in 50 years.
The WHO’s Covid shame – Their investigation into the pandemic was little more than an appeasement of Beijing
Since the pandemic started, China has promoted various narratives on its possible origins. First, the country’s top scientists blamed a Wuhan market selling wild animals, which was rapidly cleaned up and all the samples kept secret. Then officials suggested the devastating disease might have come from outside the city, even pointing the finger at a possible laboratory leak — from a United States military base in Maryland rather than within their own borders. More recently, following the slaughter of infected mink at farms in Europe, prominent figures focused on these furry mammals as hosts of the virus, while pushing hard with another theory that Covid might have been imported on chilled or frozen food.
The Coming Military Purge
An increasingly hostile ruling class, who conceive of themselves as occupying a disloyal, irredentist America, is a formula for weakness abroad and conflict at home.
One of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s first actions after confirmation has been to order a “60 day stand down” to combat extremism. This follows the widespread and mostly baseless establishment fantasy that “right-wing extremists” and “white supremacists” are running rampant and pose some immediate threat to the country.
The Left’s Obsession With Death
In the U.S. and across the world, they’re pushing pro-death laws supporting abortion and euthanasia.
They seem to feel a strange kind of joy in anything concerning death. Often, the only thing that sets pro-death laws apart from serial killers is that the former claim to be for your benefit. In the end, not many killers claim they are killing you for your own benefit, to help you lead a better life or to protect your freedom.
Marine Le Pen denies breaking hate speech laws by tweeting images of ISIS atrocities, declaring the trial as a political attempt to silence her as she surges in opinion polls
French far-right presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen has denied breaking hate speech laws by tweeting ‘monstrous’ pictures of ISIS atrocities in a trial she slammed as a politically motivated attempt to silence her.
The leader of the National Rally party appeared in a Paris court today after she was accused of spreading hate by publicising the images of James Foley, an American journalist who was murdered by the terrorist group in 2014.
Family of girl, 12, forced to marry Mohammedan abductor who chained her in a cattle pen, condemn Pakistan authorities for inaction
The family of a 12-year-old girl in Pakistan who was chained up in a cattle pen for more than six months, after allegedly being kidnapped and forced to marry her abductor, have attacked the authorities for refusing to act.
The case is among those now being examined by a government inquiry into the forced conversions of religious minority women and girls, after police released the man, saying they believed the girl had married him of her own free will.
The child was taken from her home in Faisalabad last June and had been held at the home of 29-year-old Khizer Hayat, where she was made to work clearing animal dung. Her family are angry that no further action has been taken against the man.
NBA owner refuses to play national anthem, league tells him to stuff it!
On Tuesday, NBA The National Basketball Association has told mercurial Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to restore the Star-Spangled Banner to pre-game activities after halting the anthem because it does not “represent people from all communities.”
For your amusement… 14-minute video of the MAGA riot Democrats say proves that Donald Trump should be convicted
Democrats began their impeachment case against Trump Tuesday afternoon with a video of profanity and violence during the January 6 MAGA attack on the Capitol.
The more than 14-minute video presented at the top of the Democrats’ case for conviction included snappy cuts between the violence of the pro-Trump mob and the former president’s speech just beforehand.
John Robson: Smug Liberal government is too incompetent to get vaccination right
You may think we have a vaccination crisis in this country. And if you’re not a paid or volunteer Liberal flak you may think it’s about health not PR. But it’s really a crisis of government competence. The reason they can’t vaccinate is they can’t do much of anything.
For instance buy sidearms or ships for the armed forces. Get guns away from criminals or tell criminals from law-abiding citizens. Decide when to lock us down or explain why. Deliver a budget or explain why they haven’t. Balance the books. Fix health wait lists. Maintain infrastructure. Be transparent.
Global Warming Alarmists Keep Letting Their Masks Slip, Reveal Their True Motivations
Give the green shirts long enough and they will reveal their true intentions. This happened most recently when a Massachusetts official said “we have to break” the will of the average person to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It’s another in a long line of admissions made by the climatistas – thank you, Steven Hayward, for adding that descriptive term to our lexicon – that inadvertently exposes their authoritarian urges.
Come One, Come All – President Biden’s immigration agenda will be a disaster for working-class Americans.
Nearly 16 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits, and millions more have stopped looking for work. The labor-force participation rate—67 percent 20 years ago and 63.4 percent in January 2020—was down to 61.5 percent by last December. More than 26 million Americans have been infected with Covid-19, and countries around the world have closed their borders because of the pandemic. But the Biden administration appears to believe that what the United States needs now is a substantial increase in immigration, along with an amnesty for the millions of migrants here illegally.
Laid Off Keystone Worker: My Daughter Was Supposed to Go to College, Now It’s Unaffordable
The devastating consequences of President Joe Biden’s executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline through an executive order continue to roll in.
In Fouke, Arkansas, unemployed workers are wondering where their next paycheck will come from and how they’ll afford for their children to go to college.
Tell her to apply for one of those “good green jobs.”
Canadians should reject Trudeau-style carbon taxes
According to a recent poll by a group called Canadians for Clean Prosperity, the Conservative Party should reconsider its opposition to carbon taxes.
There is, indeed, a strong textbook case to be made for taxes on conventional pollution and carbon emissions — that if factories dirty the environment by emitting smoke, factory owners should pay taxes to compensate society for the pollution. In theory, we can apply the same idea to carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change.
